Stops getting new vscode GitHub sessions, creates new sessions via GKDev by sergeibbb · Pull Request #4897 · gitkraken/vscode-gitlens

sergeibbb · 2026-01-19T14:47:17Z

Description

Implements #4881

Syncs local session when its cloud version is connected

We used to skip local (non-cloud) sessions from syncing to preserve
them. Unfortunately it causes invalid local sessions to persist.
Now it always syncronizes a cloud session if it's connected on GKDev.

Stops skipping syncing disconnected integrations

Disconnected integrations stopped being synced because the disconnect
call returned false.
Now we skip on failure only.

Stops requesting built-in VSCode new session retrieval

Only requests for existion sessions. Never asks to issue a new one.

…sions Removes redundant logic that conditionally re-fetched a session in VSCode if `forceNewSession` was true. If there is no an existing available for GitLens session in VSCode, then always go to the GKDev flow. (#4881, #4897)

🤖 Augment PR Summary

Summary: Updates GitHub authentication to avoid creating new VS Code built-in GitHub sessions and to prefer GitKraken Dev (cloud) sessions for connecting.

Changes:

Resolves GitHub sessions via the cloud provider first, then falls back to a silent reuse of an existing VS Code built-in session
Adjusts cloud re-auth handling to only abort on an actual disconnect failure (not just “already disconnected” cases)
Allows cloud sync to replace existing non-cloud/local sessions when a cloud connection is detected
Updates the changelog for the reauthenticate flow fix (4879: Remove the flow of forcing to create VSCode's GitHub authentication #4881)

Technical Notes: New connections should flow through GKDev; VS Code built-in sessions are only reused if already present.

@eamodio, @axosoft-ramint

I'm pushing it as a fix to the reported problem and try to not change a lot the rest of the current behavior. I suggest that the further improvements should go in #4882.

Behavioral changes of the current PR and verification steps are described in the issue #4881.

It's been a long while since I've touched integrations so I'm not sure what could regress or what depends on the logic being touched, but it seems harmless enough to switch priority to the cloud session over the local.

I would suggest testing github.dev/vscode.dev and other web interfaces and making sure nothing broke with pulling the built-in github sessions there, but otherwise LGTM

Yes, I tested it on vscode.dev. Testing on web environment is reflected in Verification steps. I'm merging.
